Hi All,

I have an Umbraco V4 website that has a fly-out menu created using XSLT, the user wanted the menu to go down to 5 levels within the site but with the amount of pages they have it is making the website go slow even if I reduce it down to 4 levels. I have therefore had to reduce it down to 3 levels but I was just wondering if anything can be done to improve the efficiency of my XSLT or is it just the fact that this is going to be a problem having lots of pages and a menu that shows more than 3 levels? This is the XSLT I currently have which is based on the sitemap template:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<!-- update this variable on how deep your site map should be -->
<xsl:variable name="maxLevelForSitemap" select="3"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="sitemap"> 

<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:with-param name="parent" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1122)"/>  
</xsl:call-template>

</div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:param name="parent"/> 
<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 0 or (umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 1 and umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = 1)">
<ul class="sf-menu"><xsl:for-each select="$parent/node [string(./data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]"> 
<li><xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@id = current()/@id">
  <xsl:attribute name="class">active-menu</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:if>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="data [@alias = 'nomenulink'] ='1'">
<a href="#">
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:if test="count(./node [string(./data [@alias='nestedmenuHide']) != '1' and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]) &gt; 0">   
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">    
<xsl:with-param name="parent" select="."/>    
</xsl:call-template>  
</xsl:if> 
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
